The Coffee House

[smoke665]

My mustache froze this morning while I was sweeping the snow off the cars and the walk.

That is an unpleasant and sometimes painful memory that is thankfully way back in my past!

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is a foggy morning. Maggie had never seen fog before in her life. When we ventured into the front to retrieve the paper, she stretched out her neck looked and looked and sniffed and sniffed. Gary thinks it may have triggered some genetic dreams as her breed is from Ireland. 51F at 8:28 a.m. and forecasted to hit 69F. Guests today. Gary has a Chuck roast in the Sous Vide. It has been in the spa since yesterday and 5:46:50 hours:minutes:seconds to go. Then a rub and in the oven for about 20 minutes for a crispy crust and final ten degree temperature rise. @ Charlie: any luck with the Sous Vide?

I think if I buy a Sam's Club package of Epson's salt and 2 hours soak per week, I could save money on pedicures if I buy myself a sous vide.

Sous Vide are perfect for pedicures! That was Gary's original intent, one day he fell asleep while immersed and discovered that the Sous Vide can cook as well.

Gotta tell you peoples ... you all know I cook a lot, I BBQ, Smoke, Grill, bake, roasts ... Gary even makes his own pastas and Gary has a backyard full of herbs and veggies and fruits. The last Tri-Tip which cooked in the Sous Vide, for 18 hours, Mary Lou said it was the best meat she has ever eaten in her life. Gary is duplicating the recipe with the Chuck Roast. The guests were amazed at the flavor and tenderness of the Tri-Tip (which isn't that great of a cut).

We haven't tried it, yet, but we picked up some small steaks. We need to get a bag or two, or we'll SV them most of the way, then season and sear (they're packaged in thick bgs, not styro dishes). They are planned for tomorrow, to go with the crab cakes. Tonight I'm making shrimp and ham jambalaya.

Gary suspects your tool came with a cookbook. There are many online with Amazon. You can use a Ziplock bag, just make sure it is BPA free. If you have any concerns about the bag bursting, you can double up on the bags. The Sous Vide cooks extremely well, but you can't be in a hurry.

I found one - 129* for 1 hour, then sear each side for 1 minute. Look's good.

Steak later! Our neighbors across the road gave us stuff. Two kinds of steak, baked potato and Brussels sprouts later. YEAH!

Watching hockey, what else? But - the feed went out for awhile!!! Only thing I found was a mention of outages in the northeast US and this tournament is in Buffalo. It came back on - whew! so I can see the US game later with pizza and a friend and a bottle of someone else's Christmas gift from a client.

Baby Girl watching me develop Tri X in D76. She wanted to help.

Staying in on this very chilly night. I hope the cold will keep some of the neighbors from shooting off as many fireworks as they have in past years when it's been warmer. Bex and Finn are terrified of that whistling noise and spend the night cowering under the bed. I hate it when they're scared like that!

Very simple dinner is planned. Hubby is grilling salmon, we're roasting okra and making a pot of jasmine rice, I think - washing it down with a favorite Willamette Valley pinot noir. Yum!!

Happy New Year, all - everyone stay safe if you're heading out tonight!

Cooking is progressing in the kitchen.
Can't hardly wait!

It’s 7 degrees here. I can’t imagine any scenario where I’d be taking the train to Times Square tonight. Our guests will be arriving soon...we are nearly ready to snuggle down in our PJs.

I can't imagine any scenario at any temperature where I'd head to Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year, hosers.
